This guy is not in the market for fruitless travel; he's gettin' shit DONE.Actually, the level of unhealth was proabably about the same, as I felt crappier and Tai felt quite a bit better.
On the bright side, there was this really delicious vegetarian buffet right across the street from the bank, so we had lunch there (having just run out of mung bean curry and not made anything or gone grocery shopping on account of feeling like blarughmehoblikashagh).
All this (and more!) for under NT$200. Tai's on top, mine on bottom.I had a bit of almost everything, so I could try to recreate it at home :) Unfortunately, I cannot figure out for the life of me what that crumbly fried-stewed thing is in the center-left there is. It was the most delicious and I don't even know what it's made of. I think beans, but there was loads of other stuff too. The ginger-cardamon-anise black woodear I think I can manage though :) As well as the sweet-sour white coral-lookin' fungus (on the far left center). Oh, and that steamed egg with preserved duck egg and taro. Divine!
Eggplant and veggies were mediocre -- there's only so much you can do with greens, I guess. The radish cakes were awesome though (notice how Tai got like a zillion of them.) Crisp on the outside and dense but soft on the inside, dotted with mushroom bits throughout. SO good.
Finished with a mochi (that plastic-leaf-wrapped thing). It was super-soft slightly QQ mochi with red bean paste and a tiny bit of mango-flavored bean paste in the middle. I'm not a huge fan of mango, so I didn't like that part, but the rest of it was pretty much amazing.

Healthy all natural vegetarian buffet
Across from Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank, Xindian. It doesn't exist on the googlemap yet, but you can't miss it irl -- it's the very green one right next to 永和豆漿 Yonghe Soymilk.
Like most buffets you weigh your food (usually comes out between NT$80-90) and get rice for NT$10, which comes with all-you-can-eat rice, soup, and drink. They had both white and purple 5-grain rice when I was there, as well as clear soup and warm wintermelon tea.
Plus we got a voucher for NT$10 on our next visit. AWESOME! Since we have to go back tomorrow to open the bank account anyway. T_T Our transportation for this month is going to be ridiculous.
